FOR GOVERNOR.

A few DAYS ago the Post-Dispatch
sent a telegram to more than three
hundred of the leading democratic
editors of the state, asking them to
name their choice or preference for
the democratic nominee for governor.
To this request came replies from
about two hundred of them, and the
P.-D. gives the following summary.
Several editors named their second
and third choices. Mayor Francis
was named for second place by nine,
and for third by two, while Dockery,
who is Fraucis' most formidable OPP
ponent for the nomination, is placed
for lecond choice only five times.
These figures, though small consider
ably enhance the chances of the pres.
ent Mayor of St. Louis to ascend a
step higher On the political ladder.

child is pleasant sight, but one loaded
down with silks and laces is really to be
pitied. To be sure, for best or company

the parent, but it is this over dressing dur

to the child, both physically and morally.

Cleaning Carpets.

Carpet-cleaning. as ordinarily per-
formed, is literally carpet beating, and
does much toward destroying the carpet
The proper way, if one is in the country,
is to get a branch of tree or young
sapling as thick as the butt of an axe han.
die, and which terminates in a good
number of light, whip-like shoots. A
beech branch will sometimes be found,
which will answer the purpose. 1t must
be trimmed up and every twig, knot or
roughness be removed which could catch
in the threads and tear the carpet. OF
course. the fiatter the upper part is the
better, as more of the whips will strike at
the same time. To clean the carpet, hang
it over a line placed so high that the
lower edge will clear the ground. Take
the big whip in both hands and strike a
strong, quick blow. A cloud OF dust will
fly from the whole space struck. yet the
blow will not appear to make very much
impression on the carpet itself. The ends
of the branch have divided the force Of
the blow among themselves. and each one
has made sharp, quick stroke like thai

would have staid fifty years if it had taken

But the fortune had been made in the
fourteen years. and he had come home
now to marry the woman who had been
patiently and unquestioningly waiting for
him all that time.
| Shortly after they were engaged he had
announced to Louisa his determination to
strike out into new fields, and secure a
competency before they should be married
She had listened and assented with the
sweet serenity which never failed her, not
even when her lover set forth on that long
and uncertain journey. Joe, buoyed up
as he was by his sturdy determination,
broke down little at the last but Louisa
kissed him with a mild blush, and said
